Burried in Woolin (General)

Looking through some of the Parish Records I have noticed a couple of burials with 'buried in woolin' noted agaisnt them.

I assume that this means the family could not afford a coffin and so the departed went into their graves wrapped in a blanket or such like. Does anyone know?
